TII vs FD

Well, i personaly have the FD and my best friend is in the middle of buying his TII. A guy in Raleigh is personally building it for him. Hes gonna be running 8-12 psi on the ported stock turbo, with a downpipe, stock exhaust setup after downpipe. His car is a 5 speed with a sport clutch. I on the other hand have a FD with pfs pms, downpipe, high-flow cat, hks exhaust, pettit cold-air intake, stock twins, pfs manual boost controller, and of course... an automatic ... long but simple story. Who do you guys think would win considering i gave a little powerbrake w/o the wheel spin prior to launch (gas and brake holding gas at maybe 3k or a little less)???

I predict he will take you hard off the line, perhaps pull up to 3 car lengths, but you should soon reel him in and pass him, probably by the 60 - 70 mph point, and then you ought to walk him like a dog. Not to dis the FC TII, but you have horsepower on your side, probably a good 40 hp or more.......
The automatic is only a real liability at the initial launch...after that, it becomes an asset, in my opinion.

Yeah, and use hold mode, and hold on to first and especially second gear for as long as you can.
